Think I found a dependancy problem while building an environment for chroot. (At least on kernel 3.3-2)


I tried running the following:
      Code:

/usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch=i386 sid /srv/chroot/Debian_Sid http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian


Half-way through it times out with this error:
      Code:
I: Installing core packages...
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /srv/chroot/Debian_Sid dpkg --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/base-files_6.7_i386.deb /var/cache/apt/archives/base-passwd_3.5.24_i386.deb
W: See /srv/chroot/Debian_Sid/debootstrap/debootstrap.log for details (possibly the package libept1 is at fault)


I inspect debootstrap.log and get this:
      Code:
Errors were encountered while processing:

Is this a dependancy problem with the repos?

sid (unstable) is broken at times. You don't see most of the breakage as you aren't setting up a new system from scratch out of sid every few hours if you are not setting up a chroot or building a cd, so you usually only see the "big" breakages which end up as warnings in the forum.

If you need this chroot NOW try building a testing chroot and upgrade this one to unstable afterward. This might work.

(The messages about "pre-dependency" problem aren't the problem if these are coming at the start of the log: While setting up a system you usually have an hen-or-egg problem… -- thats why dpkg is instructed by debootstrap to ingore these problems. -- What the specific problem is i don't know yet, i am a bit out of the loop currently…)
